View submission: /u/Deggit explains the reddit hivemind
This is the system working as designed if not as intended. The larger the subreddit, the more people who will only care to read top and short comments, the more banal, short comments to fulfil that demand, the more pressure on quality, "late" content to smaller subredits with less noise and a higher proportion of people seeking and validating quality, thoughtful content. This has been the dynamic in every socially or popularly edited forum for public discourse since the dawn of time. Banal speech drives out good.
There's nothing here!
